Which Rubicon springs? There's more than one set.Saturday I put Rubicon shocks/springs on my Sport S (non max tow); I only gained about 1/2" all around. I was expecting closer to an inch, so I'm a little disappointed.
Nevertheless, took it to the dealer for the steering box swap and a new set of tires: Toyo A/T III in the OEM Rubicon spec, 285/70R17 load range C. I reckon they must've updated the computer as well, because the speedometer matches two different phone GPS's.
At 60mph, there is no problem holding 8th gear on the 33's with my 3.73:1 rear end.

The light number Rubicon springs lifted my Overland almost 1" (about 7/8")
Did you loosen ALL of the suspension joints - both ends of all control arms, both ends of the track bars, etc. and then tighten them to torque again with it all on the ground?
If you didn't loosen EVERYTHING, then there's tension on the bushings and it could be holding things down.
With the phone not connected to the truck, correct?I reckon they must've updated the computer as well, because the speedometer matches two different phone GPS's.
